this was a tasty full flavored dressing that we all enjoyed. the apple juice and tamari gave it a sweet/salty flavor, and i especially loved finding a new ingredient to play with, agave nectar. i have never used it before and was able to find it in the organic section of my market. i will be looking for more recipes to use it in.
